Internationally acclaimed Hungarian bassist ALADAR PEGE has died. He was 67.
The musician passed away in a Budapest hospital on Saturday (23SEP06) after "patiently enduring brief suffering", according to the MTI news agency.
The nature of Pege’s illness has not been specified.
The Hungarian Ministry Of Education And Culture said in a statement: "Hungary’s cultural society is once again in mourning. Aladar Pege has left us." Pege began playing bass at the age of 15 and formed his jazz ensemble in 1963.
He rapidly went on to gain international recognition, being named Festival Virtuoso at a jazz event in Prague in the former Czechoslovakia the following year (64), and Europe’s Best Soloist at the 1970 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.
